Stayed 2 nights at the beginning of May in the original building. We were 2 adults and a 5 year old. We had a llovely corner room with windows on both sides with views of greenery and water. The building and grounds are beautiful, we enjoyed numerous lengthy walks on the property. The breakfasts were nice and the staff was... More

My wife and I recently spent a weekend at Ballynahinch and during the time were able to try much of what it has to offer. The building itself has an authentic "old world" feel; they manage to keep it beautifully maintained while protecting the traditional layout, furnishings and ambiance. The staff are exceptionally friendly and the place has a bustling... More

From the moment we arrived at this beautiful old hotel, we were made to feel at home in a way that only the Irish can manage. The hotel itself dates from the mid-eighteenth century and has a fascinating history, which the convivial general manager, Patrick O'Flaherty, is only too happy to relate. The rooms and corridors are spotlessly clean and... More

We spent 3 nights at the hotel and had a lovely relaxing time. The lounge, library and pub areas of the hotel are very traditional and all had roaring log fires on the go during our stay which we loved. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful without ever being intrusive and the food was excellent. We ate in the... More

We stayed in one of the luxury rooms in the side wing. It was lovely - a four poster bed, loads of space, doors opening out onto the riverside, a sitting area and lovely bathroom with power shower. The location is very quiet and relaxing, and the food was delicious. We ate in the bar on the first night, which... More

We've just returned from a two night break at Ballynahinch. I've wanted to go for a few years and only now taken the opportunity. It has much of the castle grandeur of Dromoland, is as luxurious-feeling as a new 5 star hotel but has the warmth and laid back friendliness of a perfect B&B. Dinner at Owenmore was delicious with...

When we booked our trip, we definitely wanted to stay a night or two in a castle. Ballynahinch allowed us to do so within a reasonable price range without sacrificing quality or comfort. The meals were great. The surrounding grounds had nice walking trails and the room setup for the bathroom with the double shower was amazing. I would also... More

This is an exceptional hotel in an exceptional location. There is a real sense of history running right through it. Extremely comfortable rooms with an old-fashioned sense of charm about the ones in the original building. Superb food in the restaurant. Very attentive service in all areas; natural friendliness from all the staff. Everyone feels at home here. Three well-marked... More

I am reluctant to write this review as this is my favourite place in Ireland and I am not sure that I wish to share it with the world. But life is short and why be selfish so here goes. Ballynahinch is a little bit of heaven on earth from its wonderful welcoming embrace, its great fires, its sense of... More
